Been writing some code and used Svelte. Then wrote about how people REALLY need to think about the developer experience when creating frameworks, tools, libraries, etc. https://quixado.substack.com/p/ur-dx-ok

😬 I'm beginning to worry about the toll the promotional tour for "Deadpool and Wolverine" is taking on Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. 🤪♥️💛

If you're new to Austin or looking to meet people an try new communities: Come check out an Austin FC match, tailgate, and/or away watch party. Even if you're not a fan of the beautiful game, many supporters weren't either at first and don't necessarily think of themselves as "sports fans." 🌳 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗖 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆! 🆚 Charlotte FC (10–8-6). 🏟️ Q2 Stadium. 🕢 7:30pm CDT. 🍻 Tailgate: 4:00-6pm. Metric & Denton. 📺 AppleTV+ & at Oddwood Brewing. 📊 Record vs: 1-0-0.

In my latest written bit of rambling, I manage to reference dentistry, vegetables, and pajamas – and hopefully, you're open and interested in understanding more about that. https://quixado.substack.com/p/you-you-them-them

💩 Dana Bash and Jake Trapper have wasted an opportunity to control this debate and force focused answers. Not recommended. Oh CNN, let's get you back to bed. 🍅 Every national news network should be tripping over themselves to poach Kyle Clark out of Colorado to moderate a Presidential Debate. Certified fresh. Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/live/kD2rET3e5Ts The media needs to get tough in this election and call BS as it happens.

The lack of a Sesame Street tie-in to this CNN Presidential Debate is a missed opportunity. The Count in the bottom corner by the chyron throwing up digits every time Biden starts counting off his talking points would be 🤌.

🎨 I've compiled another volume of grackle-themed promotional art for Austin Anthem – a soccer supporters group – which I’ve created using a blend of generative art and good old fashion digital design. The series of artwork is used for social and newsletters for Austin FC matchdays. I also worked on the Pride and Juneteenth variants of the 2024 SG's badge recently. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8tL9f5u_7V/ 🧑‍🏫 It’s all part of finding new ways to creatively support club and community while also providing me some real-world projects to learn and improve my design tool knowledge and prompt engineering. My art skills are limited, but less limited through technology. 🖼️ Here’s Volume One if you’re curious: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Vras4upE-/

I got a text from Tesla while sitting in a Rivian. Awkward! It inspired a piece on what makes an authentic brand and story compared to others - framed in the world of EVs. https://open.substack.com/pub/quixado/p/whats-an-authentic-brand

🎤 “Overkill” by Colin Hay. You know him from Men at Work, but this acoustic version of their hit is fantastic. Not new, but new to me. Check it out. https://song.link/s/5bbgiWfaHG6Vruyg3OWQuU
